My longtime best friend Chris gets married Saturday. Being the Best Man, I have the honor and/or duty of giving the toast. Speaking in front of large groups of people doesn’t really bother me, the only problem is that Chris was my Best Man at our wedding and his toast was good. Really good. Many…
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse than Navy Seals… I saw this headline on WNYMedia.net (originally posted on PrisonPlanet.com) and I was hoping it was going to link me to a satirical story about another Hollywood actor-turned-omniscient. Unfortunately, there was no satire to be found, it was serious. Made me feel bad…

Someone wanted to get up early and wiggle, so it made for an opportunity to try out some highlight flash photos (the flash is right behind her head). Makes her look even more angellic than usual. 🙂
Every once in awhile I get an email from someone who would like to use the music I wrote for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Since I have yet to get around to publishing it or making a quality recording, I always tell the person they’re free to use it as long as they credit me…
I was at the Terminal today so WNYmedia.net could record an interview with one of the Bring It Back To Life recording artists, Michael Bly. I was amazed at how dry the place is! Granted we haven’t had that much snow this winter to melt, but the concouse was bone dry! I checked some of…
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
